Binondo: A Trip Down The Memory Lane

Growing up and then living in Metro Manila for the past 33 years, I have grown to appreciate my Chinese roots.

Though I used to dislike studying Chinese subjects, literature, history and basic phonetics starting at age five, I slowly began to realize how important it is to have a good grasp of the Chinese language.

Since most Chinese are into business and trading, it would be easier to relate with Filipino-Chinese who are known masters of this type of craft since the 16th Century.
